Toothpaste For Pimples? Coconut Oil For Face? Let's Play A Game Of Skincare Myth Or Truth
Manage episode 430311169 series 3567454
Peter and Andrea play a game of MYTH or FACT, discussing common skincare myths. They cover topics such as whether eating greasy food causes breakouts, if putting toothpaste on a pimple helps, if coconut oil is a good facial moisturizer, if people with oily skin need moisturizers, if foundation with SPF is enough sun protection, if natural or chemical-free products are better, and if chocolate causes acne. They debunk these myths and provide explanations based on scientific research.
Takeaways
- There is a correlation between dairy products, high-glycemic foods, and breakouts, but greasy food itself does not directly cause breakouts.
- Putting toothpaste on a pimple is a myth and can actually cause dryness and stimulate oil production, leading to more breakouts.
- Coconut oil is not a good facial moisturizer as it can clog pores.
- People with oily skin still need to use moisturizers to control sebum production and protect the skin.
- Foundation with SPF is not enough sun protection, and it is recommended to use a separate sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
- The terms 'natural' and 'chemical-free' in skincare products are not regulated, so it's important to do research and read ingredient lists.
- Eating chocolate does not directly cause acne, but consuming too much sugar can lead to inflammation and skin conditions.
- Water is essential for good skin health.
